The Next Lindsay Vonn and Bode Miller?

Brent took Ava and Quinn to Echo Mountain for ski school. They both really enjoyed it and can not wait to go back. Our neighbors Trey and Liam went along as well. Could we have the next Olympic bound skiers? Ava thinks so...

it was in the 60s so the perfect weather for learning to ski

The video is awesome. This is Ava during ski school....

While Ava and Quinn entertain the thought of becoming Olympic skiers, Baker will be entertaining us in a different way...

Harry and Quinn spend the afternoon blowing bubble in January

Spa Stauffacher

Grace came over to have a spa in my bathroom. After everyone soaked their feet. I served them lunch and drinks while they laid on towels and looked at magazines. What monsters have I created....

The Stock Show

Tim and Tif invited us to tag along to the Stock Show in Denver. The kids had a great time watching the judging, looking at the animals, making a lasso and playing carnival games.

Quinn is practicing his roping skills on the deck in the rain - this lasted for about an hour

Quinn gets a new room

Quinn has been very patient waiting for us to redo his room. It is an enormous improvement and he loves it. Everyone has to come see the cars and the football signs. Poor Ava once it was done she wanted to redo hers as well. All in good time Ava

Happy 37th Birthday Vicki

No picture to share on my birthday. But I did have a fun with Shauna who stopped by to chat and bring me brownies. Tim and Tif had the kids and I over for dinner that night and later in the week Tif and I had dinner at the White Chocolate Grill. It was wonderful. We loved the tomato and gin soup. Must be 21 to enjoy!

Happy 37th Birthday Brent

Bacon anyone?

At Brent's birthday dinner-pancakes and bacon. Baker decided to do something else with his bacon besides eat it.

Wisconsin vs TCU

Geoff, Trina and Ben Larson came over to watch the Rose Bowl game (WI vs TCU). Our neighbor Trey went to TCU so we of course had to hang our new Badger flag and Bucky himself made an appearance on our front porch facing Trey and Andrea's house. Sadly the Badgers lost but Trey was kind enough to display his team spirit on our front porch. Later we received a violation for the flag from the HOA for having our flag up too long.
